Kuoe Kyoto Watch: Royal Smith 90-008 Silver

KUOE Royal Smith 90-008 – Vintage elegance in a modern format

The Royal Smith 90-008 is one of KUOE's premium models, inspired by 1940s watches with its compact cushion case of 34 mm, a thickness of 10.85 mm and a lug-to-lug of 41 mm. The hand-applied Breguet numerals and fine-grained textured dial give it depth and authenticity.

It is powered by the Citizen Miyota 9039 caliber, a high-beat automatic movement at 28,800 A/h, 42 h power reserve and an accuracy of -10/+30 s/d. This movement is partly what allows the Royal Smith 90-008 to be so thin.

The polished and brushed 316L steel case is protected by a double-domed sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating, and an identical transparent case back. The watch is water-resistant to 5 ATM (50 m).

Delivered on a Lychee leather or rice-grain steel strap, the Royal Smith 90-008 offers a comfortable and vintage wear. It comes with a second Lychee leather strap, regardless of the first strap chosen, allowing for easy style changes. All straps are equipped with quick-release spring bars.

The Silver/Gold model combines a polished steel case, gold numerals and hands, for a chic touch without ostentation.

Why choose this model?

Vintage watch enthusiasts with refined taste will find the Royal Smith 90-008 to be an excellent choice: historical proportions, high-end finishing, high-performance movement, and a strong presence despite its small size.

The proportions and stylistic choices make the Royal Smith 90-008 an ideal "dress watch." In addition, the versatility of the straps and this too-rare case shape allow the most assertive of KUOE watches to be worn even in more informal situations.
